The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland's '201 at 30' railtour on 15th June 2024 marked the 30-year anniversary of the arrival of the first 201 class locomotive in Ireland. However, due to the lack of availability of serviceable 201-class locos at Inchicore, the first leg, from Dublin Heuston to Kildare was worked by 071 class No. 084, which is seen at a photostop at Newbridge. From Kildare, 201 loco No. 219 worked the rest of the tour back to Dublin and thence to Rosslare Europort and return.
